Bed Wood Stain/Paint Advice

[LDO]

The wife got me a Mar-K bedwood kit for Christmas and I'm trying to figure out what and how to proceed.

I know I want it a semi-gloss red-ish color and I still want to be able to see the wood grain in it.

My truck is semi-gloss black outside with a (blood) red grille and some more red on the tailgate. It is gray, black & red inside.

It may be difficult to see it in pictures but I would like to go with a similar red for the bedwood.





Let me know what you guys think and any paint/stain recommendations.

thanks in advance.
